30-Day House Cleaning Challenge Day #3

I am participating in Money Saving Mom’s 30-Day Housecleaning Challenge. Each day in April, she posts a challenge for the day, then a follow-up that evening. I will post my results and pictures here on my good ‘ole blog. If you’d like to participate as well, visit Crystal’s blog here.
The assignment for day #3 was to surface clean the bedroom. I chose to take care of the master bedroom, because well, it would probably take me at least four hours to clean up my boys room.
No joke. It looks like a toy store exploded in there, DESPITE the fact that I just cleaned and completely re-organized their room about a month ago.
Ahem.
Anyway, my room wasn’t bad at all. Luckily this challenge wasn’t posted one week ago, or I would have had some really sad pictures. I still had Christmas decorations that needed to be boxed away shoved into a corner of my room, as well as a big tote of maternity clothes. I had my baby 8 months ago.

I usually make my bed in the mornings, but it got skipped this morning.

This wardrobe holds most of my folded clothing. It was a bit messy on top. It was also full of dust.

My dressing table is always a catch-all for whatever random stuff accumulates in our room. That is a big pile of magazines I need to go through and discard.
So today, I decided to clear the clutter, dust everything, vacuum the floor, and make the bed.
This looks so much better with the doors closed. I should always do that. :)

Everything looked much more put together after I was done. I was very happy I had just cleaned up this room. Today’s challenge took no time at all. How did you do today? I’d love to hear about it!
